Today's Apocalypse Sign: The Weekend In Black And White

This may not be the best lightning strike ever but it was miraculous to me. I stepped out side during a pre-storm light show and hand-held my camera, snapping this shot on the very first picture...for the next 20 minutes I chased another well-timed shot across the sky and never caught another one!


Pure Luck

Wow! That is an awesome shot Chuck! I've tried a million times and never come up with something like this! Good one!

I think it's miraculous. It's arranged itself in such stylish place on the page - and it's beautiful too.

That's actually an incredible shot. I feel as though a poem or some form of writing on the left of the picture would compliment the photo quite nicely.

Monica S Engell said...

Wow! I've never succeeded to catch the lightning! Very cool shot!

Taken For Granted said...

Not good to be standing too close to a lightening strike, but it makes for a great image. Glad you escaped without getting hit.

Lina Gustina said...

Fantastic indeed.
I'm too afraid to capture one.

This shot goes past luck to destiny.

Chuck said...

Pat: I had about fifteen more shots that night all mis-times and washed out flashes. This is the second lightning strike I have ever caught.

Lucy: I am just glad it made it on the scene! Thanks Lucy.

Ma: Thanks

HanHB: I appreciate it.

Annemor: Yes that is very true.

Chiz: You have a point there...I might give that a try. Thanks dude.

Monica: I chase it every time the conditions are right (lots of strikes and no rain falling). It is tough to catch.

Taken: The strikes were quite far away but very plentiful. No danger for me.

Robert: Thank you sir.

Lina: They were a ways away and I had my back against a building so pretty safe shooting.

Amit: Thank you my friend.

Mariane: Yes it is...also makes you keep coming back for more!

Genie: Awww...now I am embarassed!

Chieftess: All I can say is keep trying...even when your hand becomes a claw and your eye is blurring from the wait. Thanks!

Dragonstar: Thank you. And double thanks for featuring my steel roses...I am honored.

Kathy: Thank you Ma'am.

Dimple: Well hopefully I am destined to get another!
